Motorola’s Moto G is coming November 13th, likely a budget Moto X

Motorola has something new on the way, and based on the global theme to their invitation it might be time for users from all over the world to get excited about the Moto G.

The launch of the Moto X was exciting for a number of reasons, but one of the real letdowns for many people was the lack of international availability. The “Assembled in the US” branding on the box is a whole lot less exciting if you aren’t able to buy one without jumping through hoops, and while Motorola promised international availability when the phone was announced there are still may places around the world where you can’t get one. Invitations went out today for what looks like a new phone from Motorola, and the global feel to the invite is cause for excitement.

The Moto G splash page features a rotating globe with locations from all over, and every time the globe slows down to show you a new area there’s a greeting from a different language. In their social promotion for this invitation, there’s even more references to languages all around the world. The spinning globe with the Moto logo in the middle isn’t a new thing, in fact it’s the boot animation for the Moto X and will likely be a recurring theme with the Moto brand for a little while.

There’s been a little bit of information leaked so far about the Moto G, which paints the phone as a mid range gadget with a lower price point than the Moto X. It’s likely the Android-powered Moto G will come equipped with a 4.5-inch 720p display with a 1.2GHz Qualcomm processor and a 5MP camera on the back. Surprisingly, the X8 computer system that made the Moto X so enticing is nowhere to be found in the description, replaced instead with a water repellent coating as 8GB of storage via a removable MicroSD card slot.

There’s still a lot of questions left to be answered about this phone, but so far it looks like Motorola has made a low end phone that will play well in places where the Moto X is considered overpriced. We’ll know more on November 13th, when Motorola announces the device through a live video stream.
